本出願は、外科的装置、より特定すると、身体組織へ複数の外科的ステープルを加えるためのステープリング装置の作動中に、外科的ステープリング装置とともに使用されるための外科的バットレスに関連する。 The present application relates to a surgical device, and more particularly to a surgical buttress for use with a surgical stapling device during operation of the stapling device for applying a plurality of surgical staples to body tissue.
医療費および病院費が増加し続けるのに従って、外科医は、常に、進歩した外科的技術を開発するために努力している。外科的分野における進歩は、多くの場合、侵襲性がより少ない外科的処置を含み、かつ全体的な患者の外傷を減少させる手術技術の開発に関連する。この態様において、入院の長さは、有意に減少させられ得、それゆえに、病院費および医療費も、同様に減少させられ得る。 As medical and hospital costs continue to increase, surgeons are constantly striving to develop advanced surgical techniques. Advances in the surgical field are often associated with the development of surgical techniques that include less invasive surgical procedures and reduce overall patient trauma. In this aspect, the length of hospitalization can be significantly reduced, and thus hospital and medical costs can be reduced as well.
本開示は、内視鏡手術と一緒の使用を含みつつもこれに限定されないが、内視鏡手術は、外科的処置の侵襲性を減少させるための、近年における真に大きな進歩のうちの一つである。概して、内視鏡手術は、体壁を通じる切開をすることと、例えば、卵巣、子宮、胆嚢、腸、腎臓、虫垂などを視認および/または手術することとを含む。多くの一般的な内視鏡の外科的処置があり、それらは、数例を挙げると、関節鏡検査、腹腔鏡検査(骨盤鏡検査)、胃腸鏡検査および喉頭気管支鏡検査を含む。典型的に、トロカールが、内視鏡手術が行われる切開部を作り出すために利用される。トロカール管もしくカニューレが、腹壁の中に伸ばされ、そこで定位置に残されることによって、内視鏡外科的ツールのためアクセスを提供する。カメラまたは内視鏡は、概して臍切開部に位置決めされる相対的に大きい直径のトロカール管を通して挿入され、体腔の目視検査および拡大を可能にする。次いで、外科医は、手術部位において、さらなるカニューレを通じて適合するようにデザインされた専門的な器具類(鉗子、カッター、塗布器などのような)の助けで診断的処置および治療的処置を行い得る。それゆえ、主要筋を通じて切断する大きな切開部(典型的に12インチまたはそれよりも大きい)の代わりに、内視鏡手術を受ける患者は、より美容上の魅力がある切開部(サイズにして5〜10ミリメートル)を受ける。それゆえに、回復は、ずっとより速くなり、患者は、伝統的な手術よりも少ない麻酔しか必要としない。加えて、手術野が、非常に拡大されるので、外科医は、血管の解剖および血液損失の制御をより上手くできる。熱および水の損失は、より小さな切開部の結果として非常に減少させられる。内視鏡外科的処置および/また腹腔鏡外科的処置の特定の必要に対処するために、内視鏡外科的ステープリングデバイスが、開発され、例えば、特許文献1(Greenら);特許文献2(Olsonら);特許文献3(Greenら);特許文献4(Greenら);特許文献5(Greenら);および特許文献6(Robinsonら)において開示されている。 Although the present disclosure includes, but is not limited to, use with endoscopic surgery, endoscopic surgery is one of the most significant advances in recent years to reduce the invasiveness of surgical procedures. One. In general, endoscopic surgery includes making an incision through the body wall and viewing and / or operating the ovary, uterus, gallbladder, intestine, kidney, appendix, and the like. There are many common endoscopic surgical procedures, including arthroscopy, laparoscopic (pelvicoscopy), gastroenteroscopy and laryngobronchoscopy, to name a few. Typically, trocars are utilized to create an incision in which endoscopic surgery is performed. A trocar tube or cannula is extended into the abdominal wall where it remains in place to provide access for endoscopic surgical tools. The camera or endoscope is generally inserted through a relatively large diameter trocar tube positioned at the umbilical incision to allow visual inspection and enlargement of the body cavity. The surgeon can then perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures at the surgical site with the help of specialized instruments (such as forceps, cutters, applicators, etc.) designed to fit through additional cannulas. Therefore, instead of a large incision (typically 12 inches or larger) that cuts through the major muscles, patients undergoing endoscopic surgery are more cosmetically attractive incisions (size 5). -10 mm). Therefore, recovery is much faster and patients require less anesthesia than traditional surgery. In addition, the surgical field is so enlarged that surgeons are better able to control vessel dissection and blood loss. Heat and water loss is greatly reduced as a result of smaller incisions. In order to address the specific needs of endoscopic and / or laparoscopic surgical procedures, endoscopic surgical stapling devices have been developed, for example, US Pat. (Olson et al.); Patent Document 3 (Green et al.); Patent Document 4 (Green et al.); Patent Document 5 (Green et al.); And Patent Document 6 (Robinson et al.).
多くの外科的処置において組織をステープリングすることは、多くの場合、必須であり、それらの外科的処置は、開放性手術および内視鏡手術において含まれる外科的処置を含む。それは、組織のステープリングが達成されなければならない小さい切開部に起因して、内視鏡手術中、特に難題である。この目的のための器具は、組織を捕捉または把持するためにそれぞれ使用される二つの細長い部材を含み得る。組織が、最初に、対向する顎部材構造の間で把握または把持され、次いで、外科的ファスナーにより繋がれる、外科的デバイスは、当該分野において周知である。典型的に、部材のうちの一つが、少なくとも二つの横列で配列された複数のステープルを収めるファスナーカートリッジを備える一方で、もう一つの部材は、ステープルがステープルカートリッジから打ち込まれる際にステープルの脚部を形成するための表面を画定するアンビルを有する。ファスナーは、典型的に、外科的ステープルの形態であるが、二部分のポリマー性ファスナーもまた、利用され得る。概して、ステープリング操作は、ステープルカートリッジを通って長手方向に移動するカムバーまたは楔によりもたらされ、カムバーは、ステープルプッシャーに作用することによって、ステープルをステープルカートリッジから連続して押し出す。ナイフが、ステープル列の間を移動することによって、ステープリングされた組織を、ステープルの列の間で長手方向に切断および/または開放し得る。このような器具は、例えば、特許文献7および特許文献8において開示されている。 Stapling tissue in many surgical procedures is often essential, and these surgical procedures include surgical procedures included in open and endoscopic procedures. It is particularly challenging during endoscopic surgery due to the small incision that tissue stapling must be achieved. An instrument for this purpose may include two elongate members that are each used to capture or grasp tissue. Surgical devices in which tissue is first grasped or grasped between opposing jaw member structures and then joined by a surgical fastener are well known in the art. Typically, one of the members comprises a fastener cartridge containing a plurality of staples arranged in at least two rows, while the other member is a leg of the staple as the staple is driven from the staple cartridge. Having an anvil defining a surface for forming. Fasteners are typically in the form of surgical staples, but two-part polymeric fasteners can also be utilized. Generally, the stapling operation is effected by a cam bar or wedge that moves longitudinally through the staple cartridge, which acts on the staple pusher to continuously push the staples out of the staple cartridge. A knife may move between the staple rows to cut and / or open the stapled tissue longitudinally between the staple rows. Such instruments are disclosed in, for example, Patent Document 7 and Patent Document 8.
特許文献9において開示されたより最近のステープリング装置は、ステープルの二重列を切開部の各側に付与する。これは、使い捨て可能な装填ユニットを提供することにより達成され、その使い捨て装填ユニットにおいて、カム部材は、2セットのジグザグのステープル保有溝の間の細長い誘導路を通って動く。ステープル駆動部材は、長手方向に動くカム部材により接触されることによって、使い捨て装填ユニットのステープルカートリッジからのステープルの押し出しをもたらすように、溝内に位置決めされ、このような態様で位置付けられる。U.S. Surgical(本出願の譲受人)は、数年の間、内視鏡ステープリング器具を製造および市販してきた。このような器具の例は、Multifire ENDO GIATM 30器具およびMultifire ENDO GIATM 60器具を含む。このようなステープリング装置の他の例は、特許文献10および特許文献11において開示されている。A more recent stapling device disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,057,836 provides a double row of staples on each side of the incision. This is accomplished by providing a disposable loading unit in which the cam member moves through an elongated guide path between the two sets of zigzag staple retaining grooves. The staple drive member is positioned and positioned in such a manner so as to effect the extrusion of staples from the staple cartridge of the disposable loading unit by being contacted by a longitudinally moving cam member. U. S. Surgical (assignee of this application) has been manufacturing and marketing endoscopic stapling instruments for several years. Examples of such devices include the Multifire ENDO GIA™ 30 device and the Multifire ENDO GIA™ 60 device. Other examples of such a stapling apparatus are disclosed in

Particular embodiments of the present disclosure are described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. The term “proximal” refers to the end of the device closer to the clinician, as shown in the drawings and throughout the following description, and as is customary in directing relative positioning on an object. The term “distal” refers to the end of the device that is further from the clinician. In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail to avoid obscuring the present disclosure in unnecessary detail.
概して、線形ステープリング装置(開放性デバイスおよび内視鏡デバイスを含む)は、それぞれ組織を捕捉または把持するように使用される二つの細長い部材を有し得る。典型的に、部材のうちの一つは、少なくとも二つの横列で配列された複数のステープルを収めるステープルカートリッジを備えるが、もう一つの部材は、ステープルがステープルカートリッジから打ち込まれる際にステープル脚部を形成するための表面を画定するアンビルを有する。概して、ステープリング操作は、ステープルカートリッジを通じて長手方向に移動するカムバーによりもたらされ、カムバーは、ステープルプッシャーに作用することによって、ステープルをステープルカートリッジから連続して押し出す。ナイフは、ステープル列の間を移動することによって、ステープルの列の間のステープルされた組織を、長手方向に切断および/または開放し得る。このような器具は、例えば、米国特許第6,202,914号において開示されており、その全ての内容は、本明細書において参考として援用される。 In general, a linear stapling apparatus (including an open device and an endoscopic device) can have two elongate members that are each used to capture or grasp tissue. Typically, one of the members comprises a staple cartridge that houses a plurality of staples arranged in at least two rows, while the other member includes a staple leg as the staples are driven from the staple cartridge. An anvil defining a surface for forming. In general, the stapling operation is effected by a cam bar that moves longitudinally through the staple cartridge, which acts on the staple pusher to continuously push the staples out of the staple cartridge. The knife may cut and / or release longitudinally the stapled tissue between the staple rows by moving between the staple rows. Such a device is disclosed, for example, in US Pat. No. 6,202,914, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
いくつかのステープリング装置は、ステープルの二重列を、切開部の各側に付与する。これは、使い捨て装填ユニットを提供することにより達成され、その使い捨て装填ユニットにおいて、カム部材は、二組のジグザグのステープル保有溝の間の細長い誘導路を通って動く。ステープル打ち込み部材は、長手方向に動くカム部材により接触されることによって、使い捨て装填ユニットのステープルカートリッジからのステープルの押し出しをもたらすように、溝内に位置決めされ、このような態様で位置付けられる。このようなステープリング装置の例は、米国特許第5,065,929号において開示されており、その全ての内容は、本明細書において参考として援用される。 Some stapling devices apply double rows of staples to each side of the incision. This is accomplished by providing a disposable loading unit in which the cam member moves through an elongated guide path between two sets of zigzag staple retaining grooves. The staple driving member is positioned and positioned in this manner to contact the longitudinally moving cam member to effect the extrusion of staples from the staple cartridge of the disposable loading unit. An example of such a stapling apparatus is disclosed in US Pat. No. 5,065,929, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
上記で説明された器具のうちのいくつかは、外科医が手術部位への直接的な手動アクセスを有する従来の外科的処置における使用のためにデザインされた。しかしながら、内視鏡処置または腹腔鏡処置において、手術は、小さい開口部を通じて、または皮膚における小さい入口傷を通して挿入された狭いカニューレを通じて行われる。内視鏡外科的処置および/または腹腔鏡外科的処置の特定の必要に対処するため、内視鏡外科的ステープリングデバイスが、開発され、例えば、米国特許第5,865,361号において開示されており、その全ての内容は、本明細書において参考として援用される。 Some of the instruments described above have been designed for use in conventional surgical procedures where the surgeon has direct manual access to the surgical site. However, in endoscopic or laparoscopic procedures, surgery is performed through a small opening or through a narrow cannula inserted through a small entrance wound in the skin. To address the specific needs of endoscopic and / or laparoscopic surgical procedures, an endoscopic surgical stapling device has been developed and is disclosed, for example, in US Pat. No. 5,865,361. The entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

実施形態において、外科的バットレスは、外科的ファスナー(例えば、ステープルまたは当該分野において公知の他のタイプのファスナー)の配列を同時に付与するための外科的ファスニングデバイスとともに使用されるために構成される。このようなデバイスは、長手方向に整列させられたファスナーのスペースが置かれた平行な列で、身体組織(例えば、腸壁および胃壁のような)を繋ぎ合わせるために使用される。これらの外科的ファスニングデバイスは、外科的処置における創傷閉鎖の時間を減少させる。 In embodiments, the surgical buttress is configured for use with a surgical fastening device for simultaneously applying an array of surgical fasteners (eg, staples or other types of fasteners known in the art). Such devices are used to join body tissues (such as the intestinal and stomach walls) in parallel rows with longitudinally aligned fastener spaces. These surgical fastening devices reduce the time of wound closure in a surgical procedure.
典型的に、これらのデバイスは、繋ぎ合わされるべき組織の一方の側に配置されたファスナーホルダーと、ファスニングされるべき組織のもう一方の側でファスナーホルダーに平行なアンビルアセンブリとを含む。ファスナーホルダーは、アンビルアセンブリに向かって線形に動かされ、その結果として、組織は、それらの間に把持される。ファスナーは、ファスナーホルダーから打ち込まれ、その結果として、ファスナーの端は、組織を貫通し、それらがアンビルアセンブリと接触する際、完成したファスナーを形成し、それによって組織における完成したファスナーの配列を作り出す。ファスナーは、一つまたは二つの切片であり得、金属、非吸収性ポリマー、または生体吸収性ポリマー(ポリグリコリド、ポリラクチド、およびこれらのコポリマーのような)で作られ得る。 Typically, these devices include a fastener holder disposed on one side of the tissue to be joined and an anvil assembly parallel to the fastener holder on the other side of the tissue to be fastened. The fastener holder is moved linearly toward the anvil assembly so that the tissue is grasped between them. The fasteners are driven from the fastener holder so that the ends of the fasteners penetrate the tissue and form a finished fastener when they contact the anvil assembly, thereby creating a finished fastener array in the tissue. . The fastener can be one or two pieces and can be made of a metal, a non-absorbable polymer, or a bioabsorbable polymer (such as polyglycolide, polylactide, and copolymers thereof).
Nobisらに対する米国特許第5,137,198号(「Nobis」)は、アンビルアセンブリに向かって前進メカニズムにより前進させられるカートリッジを含むファスナー付与デバイスを開示している。前進メカニズムは、カートリッジをアンビルアセンブリに向かって加速速度で前進させるための第一のアクチュエータ部材と、第一のアクチュエータ部材からスペースを置かれ、カートリッジをアンビルアセンブリに向かって徐々に前進させるための第二のアクチュエータ部材とを含む。 US Pat. No. 5,137,198 (“Nobis”) to Nobis et al. Discloses a fastener application device that includes a cartridge that is advanced by an advancement mechanism toward an anvil assembly. The advance mechanism includes a first actuator member for advancing the cartridge toward the anvil assembly at an acceleration rate, and a first actuator member spaced from the first actuator member for gradually advancing the cartridge toward the anvil assembly. Two actuator members.
典型的に、これらのファスナー付与デバイスは、プッシャーバーを含み、そのプッシャーバーは、事前に決められたストロークで前進することによって、ファスナーと相互作用し、ファスナーをカートリッジから押し出す。少なくとも一つの打ち込み器が、カートリッジ内でプッシャーバーの遠位端とファスナーとの間に位置付けられ、その結果として、プッシャーバーは、打ち込み器をファスナーと係合するように前進させる。打ち込み器の長さは、固定されたプッシャーバーストロークを有するファスナー付与デバイスからの異なるサイズのファスナーの押し出しを促進するように変えられ得る。このような器具は、例えば、米国特許第5,964,394号において開示されており、その全ての内容は、本明細書において参考として援用される。 Typically, these fastener applying devices include a pusher bar that interacts with the fastener by advancing with a predetermined stroke to push the fastener out of the cartridge. At least one drive is positioned within the cartridge between the distal end of the pusher bar and the fastener, so that the pusher bar advances the drive to engage the fastener. The length of the driver can be varied to facilitate the extrusion of different sized fasteners from a fastener application device having a fixed pusher bar stroke. Such a device is disclosed, for example, in US Pat. No. 5,964,394, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
